Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 90: Pillars Of The New World

Violet left Adele’s office, exiting into the infirmary’s main corridor. The sterile, polished medical environment stretched out before her, and she couldn’t help but let her gaze wander.

So far, Adele’s office had been her only point of contact within the infirmary, but now, curiosity clawed at her now. What went on in the rest of the building? Why did they build this much space if Adele’s office was the only place she needed to get her wound healed?

Her eyes landed on the elevator just a few steps ahead, its sleek, metallic doors gleaming under the bright fluorescent lights. It stood out like a beacon, almost daring her to press the button.

Who had access to those upper floors? Were they reserved only for the elite students? Special cases? Violet was so damn curious, the mystery eating at her. Mary hadn’t spoken about that part of the infirmary either, and Violet found herself wanting to know more.

In the end, her curiosity won and Violet decided to take the bull by the horn and explore the area. Unfortunately, she barely managed to take two steps toward the elevator when a firm hand reached out, grabbing her arm. Violet spun around, her heart skipping a beat when she came face-to-face with a stern-looking Adele.

"What the fuck do you think you’re doing?" Adele’s voice was gravelly and sharp, cutting through the silence like a blade.

Everything happened suddenly and Violet was caught off guard by the intensity in her tone. She couldn’t help but stammer, "C—check-up."

"What?" Adele’s brow furrowed as she tightened her grip.

"I was supposed to have my weekly mandatory check-up today," Violet clarified, her voice coming out smaller than she intended.

"At what time?" Adele pressed, her eyes narrowing.

"6 p.m."

Adele glanced at the clock on the wall, her expression hardening. "It isn’t 6 yet, Violet Purple."

Violet swallowed, unnerved by Adele’s penetrating stare. The woman had a way of making her feel like she’d done something terribly wrong, even when she hadn’t.

"I thought... I thought I’d check out the premises before my appointment," Violet explained nervously. "It’s my first time after all. I wouldn’t want to get lost on my way here."

she added, "I’m canceling your appointment today. I already evaluated you yesterday, and you’re good. There’s no need for you to come for any medical assessment. And if I’m not wrong, you
